GOD’S ABILITY AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12)
Grace is God’s grip on you; faith is your grip on God! God’s grip is always greater!
Mark Hankins

Confession: My responsibility is to trust in God’s ability. He will perform what He has spoken concerning me! I don’t have to make it happen! God will bring it to pass!
I love you Mark. Thank you so much for this.
